[quote=Anonymous]This is insane to me and I'm thankful that I have not seen this in my professional career (yet).   The last few donors we've had have either said in their advanced directives what they wanted to happen to them or had such massive damage to their brain that there was no chance of survival.

Taking aside all the ethical and moral issues that are going on, it's so sad the damage this is going to do for organ donation.  It can be such a wonderful and life saving thing.  I was able to donate some of my dad's body after he passed and I have such peace knowing his death has improved the lives of others.

I hope these incompetent people get their licenses revoked at a minimum.

As an aside, maybe it's not the case everywhere, but I've worked in various areas of the hospital and have been involved in many codes as well as people being brought in coding.  We have no idea what your organ donation status is.  We code everyone the same assuming the aren't a DNR/DNI.
